3D phase unwrapping and background phase removal are
typically two separated preprocessing steps for
quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). We developed
a novel method for integrated phase unwrapping and
harmonic background phase removal using Laplacian, named
as HARPERELLA. HARPERELLA is fast, robust, easily to
implement and yields local tissue phase with similar
accuracy to that using the well-known SHARP and PDF
methods. To facilitate evaluation and dissemination, we
combined HARPERELLA, QSM, susceptibility tensor imaging
(STI) algorithms and related graphical user interfaces
into a software package, named as STI Suite, which is
available online for free academic use.
